Hi everyone
I just completed a new installation of Arch on my netbook, everything was working fine but there is a problem I can not solve.
I managed to set everything as I wanted and put the language of my XFCE and Firefox in Spanish, but then (I do not know exactly when) all programs returned to English.
I already check the rc.conf configuration and locale.gen and everything is set for Spanish, but when I try "sudo locale-gen" I recive a message like this: "sudo: locale-gen: command not found"
I also have problems with the keyboard, I configured xorg and rc.conf to use spanish keymap but it didn't work
Any ideas?

> pacman -Qo locale-gen
/usr/sbin/locale-gen is owned by glibc 2.12.1-4
If glibc is not on your system then you have real issues...
Try running with the full path. You could have issues with your PATH variable.

Thanks
The problem was that I was starting automatically XFCE with "#x:5:once:/bin/su <MY USER> -l -c '/usr/bin/startxfce4 >/dev/null 2>&1'" in inittab. I try sbooting to the console and using startxfce and everything works in spanish, even the keyboard
Is there any other method to enter in XFCE at boot with my user without using login manager?

Not what you asked for but, in this case, I recommend CDM.

I made one arch install that has this problem... locale-gen doesnt work (for example) but it's full path works. How do I re-set the PATH variable?

You should grep for PATH in your $HOME and /etc, because by default, the path in arch is "/bin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin" (set in /etc/profile)

All the problems I had with the PATH, keyboard and using other language than english had solved when I stop using autostart X in inittab , if I login to the terminal and start X myself, then everything works fine.
I am still looking for a way to start XFCE at boot without having to enter my username or password and not having the problems I told (CDM looks like the better way )
